Abstract
A method of driving an image display device including the steps of: dividing row electrodes of an image display device having a plurality of row electrodes and a plurality of column electrodes into a plurality of subgroups; selecting summarizingly one of the plurality of subgroups; applying voltages based on signals formed by expanding time-sequentially column vectors of an orthogonal matrix on the row electrodes; performing a gray scale display by a frame rate control (FRC) by using a plurality of frames; performing a space modulation shifting a phase of the FRC with a pixel block comprising a plurality of pixels as a unit; and wherein the phase of the space modulation is set such that a ratio of the columns each applying an equally effective voltage on all of the pixels in the column in each frame in displaying an intermediate gray scale level by all of the pixels belonging to the same subgroup is 40% or more on an average of all of the intermediate gray scale levels and all of the frames.
